First of all you need to figure out if that is surely a food poisoning and not infection. Food poisoning is caused by preformed toxins in food and can last upto maximum of 24-36 hrs. It does not cause fever and increased wbc count. Get a cbc done. If you have fever, you need antibiotics. Monitor your bp. Rehydrate excessively using water, juices, soups, ors etc.
